>I think the mayor problem to terraform Mars is the lack of magnetic field, that result in the impossibility of making a stable atmosphere.
It really, really bugs me to no end when people say this.

What? A few million years isn't stable enough for you?

What?

Mars' gravity isn't THAT low. it is slightly more than 37% Earth gravity. There will be a slow stripping of water vapour and martian atmosphere which will only become noticeable after hundreds of thousands of years with absolutely no human intervention.

- Once the approximate amount of ice that would cover half of Venus is deposited, the sunshield increases its opacity to raise the temperature to a couple degrees above Earth-standard.

- Due to liquid water over much of Venus' surface, oxygen-producing bacteria and algae that have been bio-engineered to be little gas dynamos can be spread via robots across the planet. Also, this will begin trapping the excess of carbon dioxide, transforming it into carbonaceous minerals

- Due to Venus' extremely long day and night cycle, the sunlight absorbed by the photovoltaics on the dayside need to be transferred to the nightside to produce artificial sunlight. The sunshield needs to emulate day and night on a 24 hour clock. Also the sunshield produces a magnetic field around itself strong enough to deflect the shitty solar wind from harming anything on the planet
